INDEED. NLST sticking to that strong trendline... UP!!!
if they hit a very productive well... dollars.
IPMG making higher highs and higher lows. chart looks really, really solid! eom.
EDEX is rocking today. .09 x .095 +27%... huge potential O&G play.
EDEX now .09 x .095... the train is leaving! eom.
.095 ask! i'm not letting go of a single share til we're way, way north of here. lowman, i think you need to reconsider your .01 a day growth factor for the pps!
EDEX continuing its climb @ .09..! looking really, really solid. 10 bagger? very likely.
we ARE ON OUR WAY!!!!!
MMIO ready to head back to mid 20s... looking like a turnaround in the works. O&G industry air conditioning play should be HOT this summer.
AURC showing some nice strength today with gold trading flat.
OT: i agree, IHDR. EDEX is a bomb waiting to go off. should be an incredible summer for that stock. the .08's are almost gone now.... nothing but green ahead.
EDEX is looking GREAT today. congrats to all the longs, our patience is paying off!!
EDEX... the monster wakes..! LOL .085 and rising...
right. especially since this season is forecast to be one of the worst on record. gulf temperatures are higher than ever.
i'm certainly not hoping for storms so i can make $$$. i pity the poor people in any storm's' path. but one thing is for sure: as soon as any tropical formation enters the gulf NLST will start printing money. hurricanes don't even need to make landfall to validate this business model.
i'm one of the true believers who should probably post more often on this board. i do feel encouraged that our PPS is doing so well despite this being development stage. that ought to tell us all something: yes, when we get production news this WILL explode, and yes, the traders are taking their exits and leaving their shares to those of us who have much HIGHER hopes..!
BIGN WILL BE A BIG 'UN... http://stockcharts.com/gallery/?BIGN
lowman, for what it's worth... the word is getting out on our EDEX...
http://themasterbottomtrader.blogspot.com/
i think we'll appreciate the publicity no matter what the source.
NLST... see you at two bucks when that hurricane hits. KABOOOOOOM!!
hang on... you've got at least 2..!
certainly, stockz! that NLST is quite a monster, isn't it? and narry a hurricane in sight yet. loooook out ABOVE!
oh, i forgot another one: ATWT. today was some serious consolidation, and a huge PR detailing upcoming contracts is due out in the near future. check the chart:
http://stockcharts.com/gallery/?atwt
ATWT HEADED FOR MUTI-PENNYVILLE... like a bullet.
MMIO, EDEX, BIGN, NLST... AURC... and IPMG.
MMIO went green today. O&G/misc. industrial air conditioning play. should be pretty HOT during the summer! ;)
http://stockcharts.com/gallery/?MMIO
EDEX held up well today in a weak E&P market:
http://stockcharts.com/gallery/?edex
same with BIGN. nice new PR today:
http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/060517/99298.html
and the BIGN chart:
http://stockcharts.com/gallery/?bign
could be a big' un...
NLST still looking very strong:
http://stockcharts.com/gallery/?nlst
gold down, AURC up:
http://stockcharts.com/gallery/?nlst
and IPMG, well... nothing says it like the chart:
http://stockcharts.com/gallery/?ipmg
looks like we started grabbing a bit of support here today at .17-.18 range. pretty encouraging given how badly the broader averages sold off. summer's just around the corner... and MMIO should be getting very busy.
if my entire portfolio had held up as well as EDEX these last few days i'd have a lot more $$. can't wait for june..!
<<< groan...>>>
no getting around mother nature... NLST is THE MOST BULLISH STOCK for the summer.
like it or not, AURC finally seems to be tracking the gold chart today.
seems like it might roll over again and test that 5.8 level. this week may be rough for oil.
gold is rallying some, and...AURC is rallying with it. interesting..! eom
looks like the bottom is in here. nice bounce!
looks like CWPC has found a bottom..!
it's pretty clear that the flipper mentality has even been affecting the way faithful longs trade this stock. and who wouldn't start selling the news, even if they love AURC, after all the short term trading that's been going on. we need to get to a point where everyone is willing to hold for a day or two -- then and only then will we make it to an all time high.
think about it, folks... it's not that hard. just hold the stock..! LOL
A WORD TO THE FLIPPERS: if you want the stock to go up, stop selling it. eom.
EDEX... a monster in the making: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=edex
axios, where do you see BLDH heading from here? tia.
Al Qaeda intent on attacking US oil facilities

WASHINGTON: A leading expert on Al Qaeda has predicted that in the next phase of the terrorist group’s war on the US economy, the number of attacks on oil infrastructure targets will increase.
Michael Scheuer, who served the CIA for 11 years and was head of the agency’s Osama Bin Laden unit, told a meeting on the threat to Saudi oil industry, organised by the Jamestown Foundation at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on Monday that Al Qaeda and its allies are well placed throughout the Persian Gulf to attack oil facilities and officials.
Saudi successes in 2003 in killing and capturing several Al Qaeda figures may be one reason there have not been more attacks against the region’s oil facilities. He said Al Qaeda, apart from military actions, clearly intends to use its media apparatus to “stir the troubled pot of oil-related international worries” and thereby increase pessimism about the price of oil and the dependability of oil supplies. Al Qaeda websites, he noted, had even owned the string of attacks on Nigerian oil facilities called the attackers the “lions of Nigeria” and reminding them that “Allah supports you”.
Scheuer said Bin Laden’s intention is to bankrupt the US economy, which is “entirely likely” to lead to attacks on infrastructure targets inside the US by Al Qaeda, its allies and groups that may not necessarily be associated with either. The attacks would probably focus on large targets that could cripple parts of the US economy. Other groups, however, may be satisfied with staging small-scale attacks on pipelines, pumping stations, tanker trucks as in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
In a password-protected Al Qaeda forum on the Internet, targets such as the Trans-Alaska pipeline are highlighted. The attacks could be staged by small teams of Muslims living in the US or trams that could be brought across the border from Mexico or Canada.
Scheuer said that Al Qaeda’s February 2006 attack on the Abqaiq refinery in Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest such complex, should be seen as the beginning of a new and more systematic phase of Al Qaeda’s targeting of the oil infrastructure. The attack appears to have been well planned but badly executed. Even in failure, however, the attack boosted the price of oil by nearly $2 a barrel and added to the readiness of oil producers and their worried insurers to increase the “terrorism premium” already built into the basic price of oil. The orders for the Abqaiq attack came direct from Osama Bin Laden. Two days later, there was a fatwa from the Al Qaeda-related cleric, Sheikh al-Anzi, which said that such attacks are legitimate and they must be conducted in a way that does not produce permanent damage to the Muslim community’s ability to exploit and benefit from its energy reserves.
Another speaker at the event, British expert Stephen Ulph, said the threat to the oil sector looms like a “menacing spectre” over the Saudi and Gulf states. In his view the Abqaiq attack has done damage to the image of Saudi stability and won prestige for Al Qaeda. These events, he stressed, “command our attention” as Al Qaeda’s insurgent strategy, right from the beginning, has focused on the issue of Middle East oil wealth as a cardinal feature of its global struggle. Originally, Bin Laden advised against targeting these facilities on the grounds that they constituted a fundamental resource for the Muslim community. However, it elaborated a new “bleed-until-bankruptcy” strategy against the US as the prime backer of Gulf regimes. He pointed out that although the US military has removed itself form Saudi Arabia, the ‘mujahideen’ continue to use the slogan “expelling the polytheists from the Peninsula” as an “ideological banner” rather than as a political demand. This is because it is a struggle whose dimensions simply dwarf the banalities of temporary reverses on the ground. He said Saudi and American electronic espionage against the insurgent groups was much improved today over the past. After the Abqaiq attack, Saudi security forces conducted raids across the country and rounded up Islamist militants, half of them suspected of financially aiding terrorist attacks and propagating jihadists ideology.
According to Ulph, “Al Qaeda’s objective in these attacks is more abstract – prestige to the movement, damage to Saudi self-confidence and uncertainty on the global oil market. As world energy consumption is predicted to increase by more than 50 percent by the year 2025, concerns from the security of Saudi energy exports will increase accordingly. With this trump card handed to Al Qaeda in its asymmetric warfare, actual success in damaging the country’s energy facilities is not necessary to raise fears of insecurity. In this respect, Al Qaeda has correctly identified a fundamental weak point and scored what has in fact been an uninterrupted series of triumphs.”
Another expert, John SK Daly, who addressed the meeting, said should a major terrorist attack on Saudi Arabia’s major oil facilities succeed, the impact on global oil prices would be immense, dwarfing any other man-made event. He pointed out that the massive Abqaiq complex is a critical element in Saudi Arabia’s prosperity. He said Al Qaeda’s most fearsome weapon is the hijacked commercial aircraft and its interest in using one for an attack in Saudi Arabia predates 9/11. He said, “The Abqaiq attack is the first harbinger of Osama Bin Laden’s December 2004 statement urging militants to attack oil targets in the Gulf to stop the flow of oil to the West.” He pointed out that the immediate answer to the Abqaiq attack by the Saudi government was “repression and more security”.
However, the fact that Saudi Aramco vehicles were used in the attack indicates that Al Qaeda operatives at the very least have access to the oil giant’s assets, leaving open the possibility of future “inside jobs”. An attack could also be mounted from across the border in Iraq, where Saudi fighters are active. He said the possibility of such an attack is ‘inevitable’ and 100 percent security in the kingdom is impossible. Most of the oil facilities are in the Eastern provinces where a restive Shia population “chafes under the austere tenets of Wahabism”.

hey, nice to see you as well, manysevens. ATWT could certainly be headed for multipenny land. wouldn't that be sweet? mm's have been giving us all the breaks, allowing for plenty of accumulation ahead of PRs. this one could really explode with the right news.
good luck!
me, too, buckaroo. i bought the dip today. kabooooom!
Modena, i've asked you before to stop your personal attacks. they are against ihubs rules of conduct. if you continue i'll have no choice but to report you to ihub management.
the problem, IHDR, is that the weak hands love .18 shares as much as the rest of us. they will always come along for the ride until something major changes. like it or not, right now AURC is a flipper's stock. until the news is absolutely credible, and it becomes part of the enduring truth of this company, traders will play this stock in a range.
it's very sad, too, because the same traders who are constantly tanking the pps by selling the good news also complain that the stock won't hold its gains. how ridiculous.
and oh, btw: for those of you who think errors in grammar are okay in a PR, i couldn't disagree more: if this is the quality that aurus chooses to show the investing public, a series of sloppy, incoherent PRs, then we will never inspire confidence in a broader base of investors.
HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO HIRE A PROOFREADER?
we owe it to ourselves to complain loudly when such unfortunate mistakes are made! i know g.p. reads this board. let's hope he takes heed to the many who are complaining and pays careful attention to the language of the next PR. we are talking about the legacy of our company, part of the public record. it needs to be rock solid and absolutely professional.
"NLST >> life changer " no doubt about it. low floater headed to the clouds... ;)
